The first in the Conversations for Good Series. On technology and democracy, and the ways our experiences are mediated, online and offline. View the full talk here.

This conversation is about how we got to this point in the state of public discourse today. Is big tech skewing our views and undoing our capacity for tolerance? 

What actually divides Australians and more importantly, what brings us closer? How do we create – and regulate – spaces for dialogue that encourage open exchange, not outrage; that expand our worldview, not retreat into echo chambers?

Hear from digital platforms researcher Joanne Gray, and one of Australia’s foremost social trends researchers, Rebecca Huntley. Hosted by Fenella Kernebone, cultural curator, speaker and presenter.

Presented by the University of Sydney, Sydney Ideas
